[B]Things more important at the UNIVERSITY OF CONNECTICUT than Jimmy Serrano's hyperfocused myopia on the Athletic Director mistakes:[/B]

If you read the Job Description of President on or about when Herbst was hired:

Fundraising - Giftgiving - Grants

Raising the Profile and Ratings of key Academic Programs (particularly STEM and including Pharmacy, Engineering, Business, Nanoscience, Jackson Lab, UConn Health Center)

Hiring KEY Leadership and Professors with stature

Capital Campaign and Building the MasterPlan

Storrs Center

Life Safety and Residential Life

Integration of the Branch System into a Contemporary Multi-locational UConn

State Re-connectivity with the University at the Executive/Legislative level

Connectivity to major High Profile Productive Alumni.

And as I recall, it was Jimmy Serrano that stated that the Athletic Department was at the very lowest point ever.  Since I go back to travels to Storrs with my Dad in 1967, I beg to differ:  WE ARE UCONN and we are the finest mid-level State Athletic Department in the Country.  The Best, by far in the Northeast (including all the New England states).  National Championships and excellence in many sports.  Rising Programs in Northeast Baseball, Hockey East Mens Hockey.

One mess of Kevin Ollie doesn't bring it all down.
